The creation of man, the
first man, Asu and the extinction of Dinosaurs:

BOOK OF INSPIRATION.
CHAPTER VI:

16. Then, I made a new creation; giving
feet and legs and bones to the animals I designed for the earth.

17.
And when the earth was ripe for man, then I created him; male
and female created I those of the second creation.

18. And man was dumb, like other animals; without speech and without understanding, even less than any other creature
which I had created.

21. And man was unconscious
of his creation, not knowing whence he came; nor knew he which was his own species.

22. And I sent angels to man, to teach him who he was, and to rouse him up to his capabilities, for
which I created him.

CHAPTER
XII.

1. Man only, of all My created animals, created I not perfect
in his order, saith Jehovih.

2. The most devoid of knowledge, and the most helpless of animals, created I man.

3. I gave
not to the bird to improve her feathers; nor yet to improve her species; nor gave I her a book as to the manner of building
her nest, nor as to her behavior with other birds.

4. Nor said I to the
hare: Beware of foxes, or go thou, teach thy young to depend on their fleetness.

5. And yet, both, birds and beasts, move by My inspiration, perfectly in the order I made them; the bird doeth her work, and the hare fleeth from the fox.

6. But the child of man will put its finger in a serpent's mouth, and the child will also eat any
deadly poison.

7. Thus
differently created I man from all other things on earth;

BOOK
OF INSPIRATION. CHAPTER XIII:

26. Thyself
I gave to thyself, and even at the zero of thy entity, I said: Go thou, make thyself. All other animals I created perfectly
with Mine own hands, but to thee I gave liberty to make thyself, even as thou hast.

Man created blank,
animals with instinctOahspe SECOND BOOK OF LORDS CHAPTER I:17. Man inquired of the Lord: Thou hast shown the bird
how to build her nest, and the carnivore how to scent the subtle track of his prey, and the spider to weave his net; but as
to the manner of man's house, or as to herbs that are good or are poisonous, thou has not shown man. 18. The Lord said:
All the instinct that is in the bird, or beast, or fish, or
insect, or creeping thing, was created with them, but man was created blank; and yet man shall attain to more
subtle senses than any other living creature.

Jehovih created man (Asu) unlike all other animals or beasts
with no pre-program or instinct. Man (Asu) was created at zero,
with no spiritual understanding, and being the first race of man (Asu) he had no (zero) inheritance (no previous or inherited
genetics other than to reproduce after its' own kind) and therefore had no ability to improve himself, and was thus incapable
of spiritual understanding and everlasting life. Asu was of the earth only, earthly. On the spiritual, intellectual (understanding), evolutionary scale Asu-man was between an Ape and
a man (Charles Darwin's missing link) but he was created and did not evolve from an Ape or any other animal. Spiritual understanding
and ability had to be introduced into mankind by genetics (spiritual capacity is recorded and passed on through the seed or
DNA), cross-breeding with Angels that had spiritual understanding and everlasting life (angels = spirit-man, spiritual
people with everlasting life). Asu did not have the DNA for spiritual understanding or everlasting life. The Angels have spiritual
understanding and everlasting life in their DNA. Angels are at the high-end of the spiritual, intellectual (understanding),
evolutionary scale. The first Angels came before man (the unseen precedes the seen) and did not evolve from man or any other
creature, they were created by Jehovih. The first Angels had never experienced or fulfilled a corporeal (physical) life. The
DNA of the first Angels would have been undeveloped in corporeal (physical, fleshly) characteristics. A cross-breeding between the first man (Asu) and the first Angels would produce the first Homo
sapiens (I'hins), with spiritual understanding, ability for everlasting life, but underdeveloped in physical
characteristics (such as short stature, and physical weakness, etc...) but from the cross of those two Hominids (Asu and Angels)
came Homo-sapiens and all the races of modern man.

Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore. They have a long shape like
a serpent, with four legs.

Oahspe Book of Inspiration chapter 6 describes the creation of plant, animal,
and man life on earth. Oahspe says that first the earth was encircled with destroying gases, then from destroying gases
and earth-substance created I the vegetable world, Then I created the serpents (reptiles, Dinosaurs), of all sizes created
I them [Oahspe Book of Saphah Basis of Vede: 50. mentions a Dinosaur dark green in color and 50 paces long,

the
Cruvara, serpent with four legs, lizard species, large enough to eat 12 full-grown men at one meal.

Above Argentinosaurus huinculensissize size compasison
with man.

The term "Dinosaur" comes from the Greek words: Deinos, meaning "terrible" and Sauros, meaning "lizard"]. This was the first creation
on this world. Then I made a new creation...and when the Earth was ripe for man, then I created him: male and female...So
Oahspe says first the Earth had destroying gases, after that the creation of the vegetable world, after that the creation
of serpents (including Cruvara, the large serpents with 4 legs),
after that the creation of man, or simply 1.destroying gases 2. vegetation 3.serpents 4.man. According to THE WORLD ALMANAC
AND BOOK OF FACTS 1983 under Paleontology: The history of life page 715 Before man on Earth was the reptiles, before the reptiles
was the plants, before the plants was methanogens (gases). 1st gases encircled the Earth, 2nd the beginning of the vegetable
world on the Earth, 3rd the beginning of the serpents on the Earth, 4th the beginning of man on the Earth. According to Oahspe
there was a time when very large reptiles dominated Earth before man was created. Dinosaurs were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates of the Mesozoic, especially the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Although birds are thought to be the only living dinosaur descendants,
some other animals living today are related to the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs
are in the reptile group, which includes turtles, crocodiles, birds, lizards, and snakes

While dinosaurs ruled the land, the ichthyosaurs, classified variously
in the Ichthyosauria or in the Ichthyopterygia, shared the
seas of the world with the other great groups of large marine reptiles, the plesiosaurs and mosasaurs. "Ichthyosaur" means "fish lizard,"

Carbon-14 decays with a halflife of about 5730 years by
the emission of an electron of energy 0.016 MeV.

The low activity of the carbon-14 limits age determinations to the order of 50,000
years by counting techniques. That can be extended to perhaps 100,000 years by accelerator techniquesfor counting the carbon-14 concentration.

Jehovih saith: In the time of se'mu
I brought forth the earth into a'ji, and ji'ay, and darkness was upon the face of the earth
for the space of three thousand years; and yet for other three thousand years half darkness covered all the land and water.
Behold, O man, as I have given to females a time to bring forth their young, so gave I to the earth a time for the conception
of the living species on the land, in the water, and in the air above, and I called the time the era of se'mu.

And it came to pass when the earth was in the midst of Taza, there fell upon the earth, for a space
equal to twelve days, condensed nebula in dust and stones and water combined, sufficient in some places to
cover up the forests Jehovih had made. And that which fell was hot like molten iron; and the trees
and the forests of the valleys were beaten down, and covered up, and burnt to blackness. Jehovih
said: And these shall remain on the earth, for in the time that followeth, man shall seek the coal, not knowing
whence it came. And it will bear witness of the regions of a'ji and ji'ay in the firmament of heaven.
(See Book of Jehovih and Book of Saphah.)

OAHSPE Book of Cosmogony chapter 8:

3. There is still another period to all material worlds, LUTS. In the time of luts there falls
on a planet condensed earthy substances, as clay, stones ashes, molten metals disseminated, and so on, in such great
quantifies that it can be compared to snow-storms, piling up material substances on the earth in places to
a depth of many feet, and in drifts to hundreds of feet.62

62. This accounts for
the presence of so-called sedimentary rock, which contains layers of substance of one kind or another
in a relatively pure state, which would not be that way if caused by the flow of water which would
mix everything together as it flowed. Additionally, the so called processes of sedimentation have
been observed by science and rather than creating rock they simply build up at the mouths of rivers
emptying into the oceans, and then wash away again. M.H.J.

4. Luts
was by some ancient prophets called uz, because it was a time of destruction. If luts followed soon
after a se'muan period, when portions of the earth were covered with se'mu and rank vegetation, it charred them,
penetrating and covering them up. Thus the coal-beds, and oil beds were made in
the earth.

5. Luts belongs more to an early age of a planet, when
its vortex is more extended, and when the nebulous clouds in its outer belt are subject to condensation,
so as to rain down on the earth these corporeal showers.

The majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock layers [created
by Luts].

Dead organisms in nature are usually quickly removed by scavengers, bacteria, rotting and erosion, but sedimentation can contribute to exceptional circumstances where these natural processes
are unable to work, causing fossilisation. The chance of fossilisation is higher when the sedimentation rate is high
(so that a carcass is quickly buried). [Luts would create a high sedimentation rate, where the carcass is
buried quickly and preserved from scavengers, backteria and rotting].

"Beginning with Upper Cretaceous Chalk ...found [extending] from...the Soviet Union...Egypt
...Texas and Australia. Under present theories about how sediments are deposited, it is not possible to explain the wide spread
occurrence of this facies. Coal Measures... extend in essentially the same form all the way from Texas to...the U.S.S.R....red
sandstone ...limestone, gravel conglomerates, and other formations are shown to extend over exceedingly wide geographical
areas. The problem posed by these strata is that they suggest a blanketing of the planet from extraterrestrial sources. Sedimentary
rocks are something more than we have been taught. Ager notes that "even in such classic areas as the Mississippi delta,
where sediment is thought to be accumulating rapidly, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that, after building up for a
while, much of it is carried away again." ["When attempts have been made to calculate rates of sedimentation in
what look like continuously deposited sediments, the results look ridiculous...around a third of a millimeter per year, or
200 years to bury an ammonite! And that is for the most rapidly accumulating chalk." Page 43 "The Nature of the
Stratagraphical Record" by Derek Ager]...we cannot begin to explain the origin of what we have called sedimentary strata
because there are no processes of deposition that we can observe that would create anything resembling what we see in rock
formations today. Since it is almost impossible to create a fossil by gradual burial by sediment, we should examine the idea
that our planet has been blanked by much extraterrestrial matter in previous times, burying almost all of the life that then
existed." Pages 182,183,237 "Red Earth, White Lies" by Vine Deloria Jr. - Martha Helene Jones

"In the Late Carboniferous Coal Measures of Lancashire, a fossil tree has been found, 11.5m high and still standing
in its living position. Sedimentation must therefore have been fast enough to bury the tree and solidify before the tree had
time to rot." Page 65 "The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record" by Derek Ager. - Martha Helene Jones

Oahspe Book of Inspiration chapter 6:

12. And the serpents I created were carnivorous, feeding upon one another...

14. This was the first creation I created on this world.

15. Then I overcast the earth with falling nebulae, and covered up the poisons growing upon the earth, and they were turned to oil
and coal.

-

There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were
formed many hundreds of millions of years ago...Some deposits of coal can be found during the time of the dinosaurs. For example,
thin carbon layers can be found during the late Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago) – the time of Tyrannosaurus
Rex. But the main deposits of fossil fuels are from the Carboniferous Period. For more about the various geologic eras, go
to

As the trees and plants died, they sank to the bottom of the swamps of oceans.
They formed layers of a spongy material called peat. Over many hundreds of years, the peat was covered by sand and clay and
other minerals, which turned into a type of rock called sedimentary.

More and more rock piled on top of more rock,
and it weighed more and more. It began to press down on the peat. The peat was squeezed and squeezed until the water came
out of it and it eventually, over millions of years, it turned into coal, oil or petroleum, and natural gas.

How did the dinosaurs become extinct? Since their discovery in the nineteenth century, the reason
for the dinosaurs' demise has been a matter of speculation and debate. Early paleontologists,
working prior to Darwin's theory of evolution (1860) by natural selection, suggested that dinosaurs represented
the remains of animals that had perished in the Biblical Flood...For many decades, the fossil
record of dinosaurs was poorly known. During that time it was clear that
dinosaurs had gone extinct, but it was not yet understood that this extinction was relatively sudden and
simultaneous with those of many other species. Only at the end of the nineteenth century did paleontologists
realize that nearly all dinosaurs had gone extinct within a brief period of time at the end of the Cretaceous
Period. http://paleobiology.si.edu/dinosaurs/info/everything/why.html

Probably
some time in the 1890s (at the end of the 19th century) did paleontologist realize from the the fossil record (1870-1890,
was known as the "bone rush" and is considered the golden age of paleontology, the golden age of
dinosaur discovery) that nearly all dinosaurs had gone extinct within a brief period of time. This would have been
AFTER Oahspe which was typed in 1881, not at the end of the 19th century but near it. In 1881 Oahspe plainly indicated that
very large "Lizard species" (as well as smaller ones) had become extinct in a brief period of time before man existed
on the earth. Unlike the Bible, Oahspe states clearly that the FIRST dinosaurs and humans did NOT live at the same time.
the fossil evidence is firm that humans appeared on the scene millions of years
after the FIRST dinosaurs. The sedimentary rock layer evidence supports the Oahspe Luts story of the extiction
of dinosaurs. Because as Oahspe says Luts belongs more to an early age of a planet, the FIRST extinction of dinosaurs happened
millions of years ago. Oahspe says the first humans (homo sapiens) appeared less than 100 thousand years ago on the earth,
so according to Oahspe the FIRST dinosaurs became extinct millions of years before man appeared on the earth. BUT Oahspe says
there has been MULTIPLE Semuan ages on the earth. As Jim Dennon puts it The first (spring age) is called SEMU, and that is
when Jehovih creates a new garden on the earth. Animals compatible with the environment of the new garden are created anew
by Jehovih during SEMU in each garden, which may differ greatly from the previous garden. Then follows HOTU, the sumer age,
and the planting season is over. During HOTU (now) there is only extinction. Every species has its allocated time during the
garden. As the CEVORKUM plate (Cut A) illustrates, we are a little over halfway in the Eoptian Age of man's duration on the
earth in this garden (when the great pyramid was built marked the middle of the Eoptian Age; refer Book of Wars Against Jehovih
XLIX:20). After HOTU comes ADU, the autumn age, until finally another Ice Age overtakes the earth, the UZ age. Then nothing
more can grow upon the earth until a new SEMU'an age (spring age) arrives again -- a new age and a new garden begins again.
The successive earth garden remains (fossils) in the earth's growth layers (like the rings of a tree) have led to the false
belief that one animal or plant evolves into another (evolution) over a continuous unbroken existence on the earth. The reality
is, old species disappear at the end of one garden, and completely new species appear by Jehovih's creation during the SEMU'an
age of the next garden. This abrupt change of species is proven in the fossil records. Garden is not called a garden in Oahspe,
but a sum (Ah'shong II:6) or a magnitude (Aph III:3). A garden is the sum of 4 ages (cubes), about 576,000 years. Each age
of 144,000 years is similar to our spring, summer, autumn and winter.

OAHSPE
gives a much more detailed description of the creation of animal species on this planet than the Bible does in the Book of
Genesis. So there could have been very large "Lizard species" or dinosaurs that were created AFTER the FIRST
dinosaur extinction of millions of years ago. These recent Dinosaurs could have existed since the creation of man on this
planet. In fact in Oahspe BOOK OF SAPHAH chapter BASIS OF VEDE verses 50,51 says "Cruvara, serpent with four legs. This was the lizard species, and IN THE TIME OF YI'HA they were sufficiently
large to eat twelve full-grown men at a meal. They were of a dark green color, and fifty paces in length. Gaccus, a giant
who contrived traps to destroy the great serpents, the Cruvares." So Oahspe agrees that some Dinosaurs that were created
after the FIRST dinosaurs that became extinct have existed on earth since the creation of man. According to Oahspe Book of
Saphah Plate 63 Language Tree, the time of Yi'ha went back to the ancient time of the Vede, Sanscrit, and Chinese.

Ancient Chinese referred to unearthed dinosaurbones as dragon bones and documented them as such. For example, Chang Qu in 300 BC documents the discovery of "dragon bones" in Sichuan.[7] The modern Chinese word for dinosaur is konglong
(恐龍, meaning "terrible dragon"), and villagers in central China have long unearthed fossilized "dragon bones" for use
in traditional medicines, a practice that continues today.[8]

The binomial name for a variety of dinosaur discovered in China, Mei long, in Chinese (寐 mèi and 龙 lóng) means "sleeping dragon." Fossilized remains of Mei long have been found in China in a sleeping and coiled form, with the dinosaur nestling its snout beneath one of its forelimbs
while encircling its tail around its entire body.[9]

The book,The Travels of Marco Polo, is the written record which chronicles the adventures and travels
that Marco Polo experienced while exploring the eastern world. In part 2, chapter 40, Marco Polo reports what he describes as "huge serpents". The descriptions given sound in many ways no different than descriptions given of the dinosaurs
in the text books.

The following is an excerpt from Marco Polo's book in which he describes a dinosaur:

Leaving the city of Yachi, and traveling ten days in a westerly direction, you reach the province of Karazan, which
is also the name of the chief city....Here are seen huge serpents,
ten paces in length (about 30 feet), and ten spans (about 8 feet) girt of the body. At the
fore part, near the head, they have two short legs,
having three claws like those of a tiger, with eyes larger than a forepenny loaf (pane da quattro denari) and very glaring."

The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the
teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal can approach
them without terror.

The dragons of legend are strangely like actual creatures that have lived in the past. They are much like the great
reptiles which inhabited the earth long before man is supposed to have appeared on earth. Dragons were generally
evil and destructive. Every country had them in its mythology.[3]

Dinosaur bones Carbon-14 dated to less than 40,000
years

Researchers have found a reason for the puzzling survival of soft tissue and collagen in
dinosaur bones – the bones are younger than anyone ever guessed.Carbon-14 (C-14) dating of multiple
samples of bone from 8 dinosaurs from Texas, Alaska, Colorado, and Montana revealed that they are only 22,000 to 39,000 years
old.

The researchers presented their findings at the 2012 Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting
in Singapore, August 13-17, a conference of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society
(AOGS).

The above information agrees with Oahspe's multiple SEMU'an
Ages or Gardens and the creation of very large lizard (Dinosaur) species in different Semu'an periods and their sudden destruction
by Luts (falling condensed nebula) or Ice Ages, not by a world wide Biblical flood. There are Dinosaurs that were created
in the first Semu'an age millions of years ago before the creation of man, that became extinct by Luts (condensed falling
nebula) and there are Dinosaurs that were created in the last Semu'an age that have existed with man, that have been hunted,
trapped and killed by man.

OAHSPE BOOK OF INSPIRATION. CHAPTER VI:

11. Then,
I created the serpents; of all sizes created I them.
And they were poison [poisonous] also.

12. And the serpents I created were carnivorous, feeding upon one another. Self-impregnating created I them.

14. This was the first creation I created on this world.

15.
Then I overcast the earth with falling nebulae, and covered up the poisons growing upon the earth, and they were turned to
oil and coal. [Oahspe BOOK OF SAPHAH chapter BASIS OF VEDE verses 50,51 says "Cruvara, serpent with four
legs. This was the lizard species". This serpent with four legs was larger than a man.]

We don't know today if dinosaurs were self-impregnating (self-fertilizing)
but we do know that the largest species of Lizard today is capable of self-impregnating (self-fertilization).The Komodo Dragon which can grow larger and heavier than the average adult man is capable of self-impregnation
(self-fertilization).This was not known until 2006 and at that time had only been documented
in just 0.1 percent of vertebrates. 125 years earlier, Oahspe stated the fact that larger than human lizards were
capable of self-impregnation (self-fertilization).

Komodo dragons can reproduce through self-fertilization

“The tests on the embryos and on Flora, her sister and other dragons confirmed that Komodo dragons can reproduce
through self-fertilization.” …

“Flora, a pregnant Komodo dragon living in a
British zoo, she has never mated, or even mixed, with a male dragon, and fertilized all the eggs herself, a process culminating
in parthenogenesis, or virgin birth. Other lizards do this, but scientists only recently found that Komodo dragons do too.”
… this was the first time it has been shown in Komodo dragons — the world’s largest lizards.http://animalworld.tumblr.com/post/2148013083/komodo-dragons-can-reproduce-through

National Geographic NewsDecember 20, 2006DNA tests confirmed Flora was the
sole parent, says Chester Zoo curator of lower vertebrates Kevin BuleyFlora, along with another female Komodo dragon
from the London Zoo, represent the first known cases of virgin birth in the world's largest lizard, according to researchers.Single-parent reproduction is hardly ever seen in such complex animals, having been documented in just 0.1 percent of vertebrates,
the study team says.The finding that Komodo dragons are capable of self-fertilization may open the way for many more
such discoveries in other animals, says team member Richard Gibson, curator of herpetology at the London Zoo.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/12/061220-virgin-dragons.html

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, an average adult male will weigh 79 to 91 kg
(170 to 200 lb) and measure 2.59 m (8.5 ft), while an average female will weigh 68 to 73 kg (150 to 160 lb) and measure 2.29
m (7.5 ft).[15] The largest verified wild specimen was 3.13 m (10.3 ft) long and weighed 166 kg (370 lb), including undigested
food.[12]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon

The researchers then analysed data from an ancient meteorite shower called the Late Heavy Bombardment
(LHB), which occurred 4 billion years ago, where millions of rocks crashed to Earth and Mars over a period of 20 million years.http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/newssummary/news_1-6-2009-10-59-30...'impact epoch' affected the young planets...a period known as the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) on
Earth. The LHB is hypothesized to have occurred roughly 3.9 billion years ago during the Hadean eon, and was a time when impacts
were especially frequent.http://phys.org/news/2014-02-late-heavy-bombardment-affect-earth.htmlEvidence for the LHB event is primarily from dating lunar samples brought back by the Apollo astronauts,
which (dates) imply that most impact melt rocks were formed in this rather narrow interval of time. Several hypotheses are
now offered to explain the spike in the flux of asteroids or comets in the inner Solar System but no consensus yet exists....the cataclysm hypothesis has recently gained in popularity, particularly among dynamicists who have identified
possible causes for such a phenomenon...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Heavy_BombardmentAn ancient meteorite shower called the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) was discovered after lunar samples

OAHSPE BOOK OF COSMOGONY AND PROPHECY V:

8. Where se'mu was quickened into life in lighter times, it focalized toward the light, and this focus was called
an eye. And such as were thus quickened into life, and not attached to the earth by fibers or roots, were called animals.
And the LIFE they inherited gave power unto them, to go about from place to place. So great are the powers of the eyes of
some animals that they can see and distinguish in the darkest of nights. Such eyes are absorbents of vortexya, and they shine
in the dark.

New Fossils Demonstrate That Powerful Eyes Evolved in a Twinkling

Palaeontologists have uncovered half-a-billion-year-old fossils demonstrating that primitive animals had excellent
vision. An international team led by scientists from the South Australian Museum and the University of Adelaide found the
exquisite fossils, which look like squashed eyes from a recently swatted fly.

This discovery
will be published on June 30, 2011) in the journal Nature. The lead author is Associate Professor Michael Lee from the South
Australian Museum and the University of Adelaide's School of Earth & Environmental Sciences.

Their
discovery reveals that some of the earliest animals possessed
very powerful vision; similar eyes are found in many living insects, such as robber flies. Sharp vision
must therefore have evolved very rapidly, soon after the first predators appeared during the 'Cambrian Explosion'
of life that began around 540 million years ago.

As the fossil eyes were found isolated, it's not certain what animal they came from, but they probably
belonged to a large shrimp-like creature. The rocks containing the eyes also preserve a dazzling array of ancient marine creatures,
many new to science.

-Oahspe says the first organs of sense created in any
animal were the eyes. One of the oldest animal
fossils discovered is that of eyes, scientists say Sharp vision must have evolved very rapidly, Older animal fossils have been found but they are of animals that have no sense organs.DO SPONGES HAVE SENSORY ORGANS?Sponges have no nervous
system or organs like most animals do. This means they
don't have eyes, ears or the ability to physically feel anything.Sponges have no nerves or brain, so
they lack any ability to cognitively control their movement. Their simple
anatomy is similar to that of the earliest members of the animal kingdom. Since sponges have no true sensory organs, they aren't capable of hunting prey.http://animals.pawnation.com/sponges-sensory-organs-6530.htmlScientists have discovered the world's
oldest known animal fossils, dating to 650 million years ago.

-
The fossils, likely sponges, push back the fossil record for
animals by about 70 million years.- The sponges existed before, and probably after, a severe "Snowball
Earth" event that covered much of the globe in ice.Animals have been on Earth for at least 650 million years,
suggest recently found primitive sponge fossils from South Australia.This discovery pushes back the fossil record for animals by about 70 million years, according to a new study
published in the journal Nature Geoscience.The prior oldest
known hard-bodied animals were reef-dwelling organisms called Namacalathus, which date to approximately 550 million years
ago. Disputed remains for other possible soft-bodied animals date to between 577 and 542 million years ago.http://news.discovery.com/animals/dinosaurs/oldest-animal-fossils-sponge.htm-
